One of the capital’s best Italian restaurants, celebrated Chef Theo Randall carefully blends the best local ingredients with hand-picked Italian imports to create rustic fare that attracts rave reviews. Enjoy breakfast with an Italian twist or indulge in lunch or dinner, available daily. At weekends, the popular ‘La Dolce Vita’ brunch is available with unlimited beverage options.

The restaurant has gone from strength-to-strength since it opened to critical acclaim in November 2006, following Theo’s success as Head Chef at Michelin starred The River Café. Theo’s new dishes celebrate the simple yet robust flavours of Italian cooking, with seasonality at the heart. A daily changing à la carte lunch menu has also been introduced to incorporate a greater choice of dishes, seasonality, and varying prices.

Head Sommelier, Vittorio Gentile, has echoed Theo’s dedication to seasonality in the wine list, taking inspiration from the ingredients, flavours and scents of the varying seasons. Divided into winter, spring, summer and autumn, the list highlights bolder wines to complement the rich, warming foods of the colder months and lighter, elegant pours to accompany the warmer seasons. The wine list also features natural wines from young artisan winemakers and an extensive selection of Italian wines by
the glass.

The bar area has undergone a significant redesign to incorporate a sommelier’s table, ideal for large group entertaining or for a casual pre-dinner drink. The revised bar menu has been designed to offer a selection of authentic and innovative Italian cocktails. A menu of small dishes and antipasti is available at the bar; created to make it a destination in its own right.
